The Question Was, Who Would Write the Thank You Note
Sara Bennett Photographs, “Inside and Out,” Katonah Village Library
From March 7 to April 30, the Katonah Village Library will host a photography exhibit of women who currently are or have been incarcerated at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility and Taconic Correctional Facility, both in Bedford Hills.
An opening reception, where the photographer and some of her portrait subjects will be present, will be held on Saturday, March 7 from 2-4 pm. The public is welcome.
“Inside and Out: Selections from Looking Inside: Portraits of Women Serving Life Sentences and Life After Life in Prison: The Bedroom Project” will include more than thirty photographs by Sara Bennett. Before becoming a photographer documenting women with life sentences, Bennett worked for eighteen years as a public defender specializing in representing battered women and the wrongly convicted.
Bennett regards her photography as a way to depict the injustices she saw when she was a criminal defense lawyer. She hopes her work “will shed light on the pointlessness of extremely long sentences, arbitrary parole denials, and what to do with a redeemed life.”
Sara Bennett’s portfolio can be viewed at lifeafterlifeinprison.com
